Ask HN: A Good Alternative for ReCaptcha?
recommended by 2 users | 2019 | 368 points by Ayesh | web security | original thread |

Are there any good alternatives for reCaptcha? It has come to a point that traditional text/sound captcha challenges are trivial to bypass today, and the more distorted we make them, the more challenging they are for humans.

Google went Sparta with their reCaptcha be, and nobody in their right mind should add a script that fingerprints users, specially from an adtech company.

What solutions do you use to thwart bad boots from submitting your forms and automating things where it should not have been?
